Violinist Annie Trépanier and violist/violinist Steve Larson have performed throughout the Americas and Europe – their playing has been hailed as “supercharged, clear-headed, yet soulful” (The Boston Globe) and “gorgeous…almost mad with excitement” (Classical.net). They have been playing chamber music together since the 1990’s, including numerous performances as the Trépanier/Larson Duo, and are currently members of Cuatro Puntos Ensemble which is renowned for its exciting cross-cultural collaborations and recordings and the Mad River String Quartet which explores the rich legacy of American music in all its entertaining variety. They also perform each summer at the Wintergreen Festival in Virginia. In addition, Steve is a founding member of the Adaskin String Trio and Ensemble Schumann and Annie, a founding member of American Graffiti, a violin and piano duo that explores the deep well of American musical creativity. Previously, they played together for twenty years as members of Avery Ensemble, and were finalists at the Banff International String Quartet Competition as members of the Diabelli Quartet. Originally from Canada (Annie from Montreal, Quebec and Steve from Regina, Saskatchewan), since 1996 they have lived in Connecticut where they are very active both as performers and teachers.
